Performance Specs
• Designed for high-end staging, warm midrange character, and realistic instrument/vocal reproduction.
• Paper-based acoustic membranes deliver natural tone and low listening fatigue.
• Wide dynamic range with strong midbass authority and clean high-frequency extension.
• Crossovers are tuned for time-phase alignment between all drivers.
Key Features
• True 3-Way Front Stage – Separates midbass, vocal midrange, and treble for maximum clarity.
• Silk Dome Tweeter – Smooth, refined upper detail with natural decay.
• Dedicated Midrange – Produces vocal realism and spatial imaging.
• Cast Frame Midbass – Controls resonance and distortion under load.
• Adjustable Tweeter Output – Allows tuning to vehicle acoustics.
• ESB Audiophile Voicing – Natural, musical, and immersive.
Performance Integration Notes
• Ideal Amplifier Power: 120–200 W RMS per channel (high-quality Class AB or Class D).
• Recommended High-Pass Filter (Midbass): 60–70 Hz (protects excursion).
• Best Listening Result: Tweeters aimed toward ear height, midrange positioned near tweeter plane.
• Installation Time: 1.5–3 hours depending on vehicle and staging layout.
Pro Tip:
Place the midrange and tweeter close together (same vertical plane) to maintain imaging focus—especially in motorcycle fairings or A-pillar builds.
